Shellfish Contaminant Monitoring Programme: Status and Trends Analysis 1987 - 2011 Michael Stewart Jennifer Gadd Deborah Ballantine Greg Olsen National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd NIWA Report: HAM2012-115 NIWA Project: ARC13210 Executive Summary Background The Shellfish Contaminant Monitoring Programme (SCMP) has been run by Auckland Council (AC) (and formerly the Auckland Regional Council (ARC)) since 1987. AC has monitored bioaccumulative contaminant levels in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) at four core sites in the Manukau Harbour (Cornwallis, Grannys Bay, Hingaia and Pahurehure) yearly since 1987. Annual mussel (Perna canaliculus) monitoring was introduced in the Waitemata Harbour (three sites - Upper Harbour, Chelsea and Illiomama) and Tamaki Estuary (one site) in 1999, and in the Manukau Harbour in 2000 (three sites - Mangere Bridge, Papakura Channel and Weymouth). Oysters are collected from in-situ wild populations while mussels are sourced from a Coromandel mussel farm, seeded on to strings and then deployed for three months prior to harvesting. Pre- deployment mussels are also analysed in order to calculate subsequent contaminant load from each site. Both species are harvested in early summer and five replicate samples from each site are analysed for metal and organic contaminants and one combined sample from each site is analysed for condition. Shellfish are sedentary ―biomonitors‖ used to assess the bioavailable contaminant load at a designated site. These bioavailable contaminant data are amalgamated with other environmental monitoring programmes - the Saline Water Quality Programme, the Sediment Contaminant Monitoring Programme and the Benthic Ecology Programme - to provide a holistic assessment of environmental contamination in the Auckland region. Contaminants measured have varied throughout the lifetime of the programme (see Appendix A for descriptions of contaminants; Appendix B for history of mussel contaminant analyses and Appendix C for history of oyster contaminant analyses) and currently include six key heavy metals: arsenic; cadmium; chromium; copper; lead and zinc and a suite of legacy organic contaminants including: dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and breakdown products; polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs); polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and minor organochlorine pesticides (OCPs). As indicators of shellfish health, condition and lipid content are also measured. Report aims To provide an assessment of all aspects of the SCMP, AC conducts regular audits. The previous audit in 2007 (Mills 2007), recommended a follow-up in 5 years. AC has requested a status and trends analysis (this report) and a separate review of the SCMP (a second following report Stewart, et al. (2013)). This report is broken down into distinct areas: An assessment of current QA procedures used by analytical laboratories; Analysis of current contaminant and condition status for each site; Statistical analyses of contaminant and condition trends over the lifetime of the SCMP; Comparisons of SCMP data with other shellfish monitoring programmes; food safety guidelines; and other regional environmental monitoring programmes. Key findings QA procedures and data were assessed, to determine whether changing analytical laboratories in 2005 (metals) and 2009 (organics) had any significant effect on the data. Metals have been analysed by Watercare Laboratory Services Ltd since 2005 (previously AgResearch), while organics have been analysed by AsureQuality Limited since 2009 (previously NIWA). For both current laboratories, QA procedures are comprehensive and provide sufficient information to measure analytical performance for the SCMP. An assessment of organics QA data has revealed that there were no significant changes as a consequence of changing analytical laboratories. This assessment was not possible for metals as no QA data is available prior to 2005. However, a change to the digestion procedure was implemented in 2011. This change does not appear to significantly affect the results for samples from the SCMP. Recommendations arising from the QA assessment are: Re-assess why a shelf temperature of 25-30°C is used for freeze drying, with possible implications in the loss of volatile contaminants; Consider using a certified reference material (CRM) that contains levels of organic contaminants which more closely resemble the range observed in shellfish from the Auckland region; Decrease the spike concentration for PAHs by at least ten-fold (10 ng) to produce a spiked PAH data set which is in a similar range to real samples; AC to request blank data for PAH analyses; Confirm that the procedure used to measure %lipid is robust and reliable for future organic contaminant analyses; Consider conducting a small pilot study to measure if there are any significant differences between levels of contaminants (for both metals and organics) when extracting either wet tissue or freeze-dried tissue. We strongly recommend long-term storage of tissue samples (dried or frozen) for future investigations and retrospective analysis of e.g., emerging contaminants. Results for current status are: Based on a combined average contaminant score, mussel sites decrease in quality in the order: Pre-deployment; Papakura Channel; Illiomama; Weymouth; Chelsea; Upper Harbour; Mangere Bridge; Tamaki. The site ranking for mussels is very similar to the ranking provided in 2007 (Kelly 2007), suggesting only minimal relative change has occurred since that time. Based on the combined average contaminant score, oyster sites decrease in quality in the order: Cornwallis; Hingaia; Pahurehure; Grannys Bay. The ranking of oyster sites is unchanged from that provided in 2007 (Kelly 2007). For condition: o Oyster condition was highest at Cornwallis and lowest at Grannys Bay. o Mussel condition was substantially higher at Illiomama compared to the other sites and was lowest at Mangere Bridge. The condition index for the pre-deployment mussels was generally lower than the monitoring sites. o Pre-deployment mussel condition appears to have some effect on contaminant tissue concentrations, probably increasing variability and therefore decreasing the ability to detect trends. For heavy metals: o Arsenic concentrations were similar among both species with highest levels in Cornwallis oysters and lowest levels in Mangere Bridge mussels. o Cadmium concentrations were approximately twice as high in oysters compared to mussels and were highest in oysters at Hingaia. Lowest cadmium concentrations were measured in mussels at Tamaki and Illiomama. o Chromium concentrations were similar in oysters and mussels, were lowest at the Hingaia and Pahurehure oyster sites and the Illiomama mussel site and highest at Mangere Bridge mussel site. o Lead concentrations were around 3 times higher in mussels than in oysters and were substantially lower at Cornwallis than at all other sites. Highest concentrations of lead were measured at Upper Harbour, Chelsea and Tamaki mussel sites. o Copper concentrations were a factor of 50 times higher in oysters than in mussels and for oysters were highest at Grannys Bay and lowest at Cornwallis. Lowest copper concentrations were for pre-deployment mussels and at Weymouth and Papakura Channel mussel sites. o Zinc concentrations were a factor of 30 times higher in oysters than in mussels. For oysters, zinc concentrations were highest at Grannys

Local economic development brings together a range of players to build up the economic capacity of a local area and improve its economic future and quality of life for individuals, families and communities. Auckland’s economic development Auckland has a diverse economy. While central Auckland is dominated by financial, insurance and other professional services, parts of south and west Auckland have strengths in a range of manufacturing industries. In other areas, tourism is a key driver and provides a lot of local employment while there are also areas that are primarily residential where residents commute to the city centre or one of the industrial precincts for employment. The Auckland region also has a significant primary sector in the large rural areas to the north and south of the region. The Auckland Growth Monitor1 and Auckland Index2 tell the story behind Auckland’s recent economic growth. While annual GDP growth of 4.3 per cent per year over the last five years is encouraging, we want our economy to be more heavily weighted towards industries that create better quality jobs and generate export earnings.
